“Sanjay Gupta, MD.”

Gupta’s medical training and public health policy
experience distinguish his reporting on such topics as brain
injury, disaster recovery, health care reform, fitness, military
medicine, HIV/AIDS and other areas.

His reports from areas devastated by disaster have brought
clarity and human context to many situations. He received two Emmy
awards for his reports on the earthquake in Haiti and contributed
to the network’s Peabody Award-winning coverage of the BP oil
disaster and Hurricane Katrina.

Gupta is the author of several best-selling books, including
“Chasing Life” and “Cheating Death.”
